LONDON: UK health secretary Sajid Javid reiterated his view that the country must try to live with Covid-19. New curbs must be an “absolutely last resort”, he wrote in the Daily Mail, citing the “enormous health, social and economic costs of lockdowns.”
It’s inevitable there will be a big increase in the number of people in the hospital with the virus over the next month given the lag between infection and hospitalisation, Javid said. England reported a record high daily total of 1,62,572 new cases on Saturday, up from 160,276 the previous day, official data showed.
